Porcelain Veneers in Medellín: planned clinically, made in-house
Natural-looking IPS e.max veneers
Lithium disilicate ceramic layered to copy the translucency of healthy enamel, so your smile reads as natural in daylight and in photos. Learn more about e.max veneers in Medellín.
Individual results vary. A clinical evaluation is required before treatment.
You approve the design before any preparation
A 3D intraoral scan and digital smile design session come first. You then see and approve a trial fitting, where the final shape and shade are decided, before anything is permanently bonded.
In-house lab, 3-day turnaround
Veneers are made by master technicians in our own lab, under Dr. Escudero's supervision. Adjustments happen the same day instead of waiting on a shipment, which is what makes a three-day dental tourism trip possible.
Applies to standard veneer cases. Complex cases may need extra appointments.
Credentials you can verify yourself
Dr. Escudero's ReTHUS registration can be checked on Colombia's public health-professional registry. The clinic operates under Habilitación (Resolución 3100 de 2019), the Ministry of Health's mandatory audit of infrastructure, equipment, staff and sterilization protocols.
Your treatment is backed by a written 1-year limited warranty on materials and workmanship.

Veneers in Colombia Reviews: from the patients themselves
Getting veneers in Colombia: the all-inclusive package
Read all reviews on Google →"I found Dr. Yaz online, and I'll be honest, I was a little apprehensive about traveling to Colombia to get my teeth done. But from start to finish, the entire process was absolutely amazing."
How to Choose the Best Veneers Dentist in Colombia: six things to check before you book
Looking for the best veneers in Colombia usually starts with comparing prices. Price matters, but these six checks say more about the smile you will still have in ten years. Use them with any clinic, including ours.
A licensed dentist, by name
Ask who will treat you and search that name or ID in ReTHUS, the Ministry of Health's public registry. A clinic brand is not a license.
Here: Dr. Yazmín Escudero, ReTHUS reg. 1.098.615.233.
A certified facility
Ask for the clinic's Habilitación certificate (Resolución 3100 de 2019), the Ministry of Health's audit of equipment, staff and sterilization.
Here: Habilitación-certified clinic in Torre Salud y Servicios, El Poblado.
One dentist, start to finish
Ask who designs your smile, who prepares your teeth and who bonds the veneers. In some clinics those are three different people.
Here: Dr. Escudero does all three herself.
The material, named in writing
"Porcelain" can mean several ceramics. Ask for the brand and type on your quote, and whether the lab is in-house or outsourced.
Here: IPS e.max lithium disilicate, made in our in-house lab.
An exam before the final price
A careful clinic checks gums, decay and bite before confirming how many veneers you need, and quotes any prior treatment before you commit.
Here: periodontal screening, bite analysis and 3D scan on Day 1, with an itemized quote.
Warranty and records you keep
Read what the warranty excludes, and ask whether you get your scans, shade and material specs to take home for future care.
Here: 1-year limited written warranty and full digital records.
Red flags when comparing clinics
- A fixed number of veneers quoted before anyone has seen your teeth
- No mention of a gum, decay or bite check
- "Porcelain" on the quote with no brand or material type
- No written warranty, or one you cannot read before paying
- Reviews only on the clinic's own website, none on Google
- Pressure to book and pay before your clinical evaluation
Are You a Good Candidate for veneers?
A lasting smile needs a healthy foundation. Before any cosmetic plan, every patient has a periodontal screening, a bite analysis and a 3D intraoral scan.
Usually a good fit
- Healthy gums and bone
- Mild to moderate wear, chips, gaps or discoloration
- Realistic expectations of a natural result
- Committed to hygiene and wearing a night guard
Treat first, or choose another option
- Active gum disease or decay
- Severe grinding (bruxism)
- Significant misalignment or an unstable bite
- Too little enamel left to bond to
If veneers are not right for you, we say so and refer you to the right specialist. We do not place veneers that are not clinically indicated.
How Much Do Veneers Cost in Colombia?
At Dr. Escudero's clinic, an IPS e.max porcelain veneer costs $345 USD per tooth. A full set of 20 costs $6,900 USD, the same as 20 single veneers, with your hotel, airport and appointment rides, and bilingual coordinator included. That is about 76% less than the US national average of $1,425 per tooth.

- The balance is paid at the clinic by card, bank transfer or cash.
- Your final quote is confirmed after the clinical evaluation, periodontal analysis and 3D scan.

Risks and Limits of Veneers: what to know before you fly
Porcelain veneers are an elective, irreversible procedure. Nothing below is a reason not to treat. It is what an honest consultation covers out loud.
Enamel does not grow back
Traditional veneers remove about 0.3–0.7 mm of enamel. Those teeth will always need a veneer or crown from then on. If whitening, bonding or orthodontics can get a comparable result with less tooth removed, we tell you.
Sensitivity is normal at first
Cold and pressure sensitivity and tender gums usually settle within days to a few weeks. Rarely, a prepared tooth later needs a root canal.
How we handle it: direct WhatsApp access during recovery and written aftercare.
Veneers are not permanent
With good care, porcelain veneers commonly last 10–15 years. Replacement is a real future cost to budget for. Read how long porcelain veneers last.
How we handle it: scans, shade records and material specs are documented so any dentist can plan a replacement.
Porcelain can chip or come loose
Biting nails, ice or pens, and above all clenching and grinding, can fracture a veneer.
How we handle it: if your bite shows grinding, a night guard is part of the plan, and warranty coverage assumes you wear it.
Gums and bite come first
Decay, gum disease or an unstable bite will compromise even perfect veneers, so they are treated first.
How we handle it: screening happens on Day 1. If the timeline changes, you hear it then.
Shade has physical limits
Porcelain does not respond to whitening, and neighboring teeth can shift shade over the years. Ultra-white shades are the hardest to keep natural.
How we handle it: you approve shape and shade at the trial fitting, before bonding.
Cosmetic, not orthodontic
Veneers can mask mild crowding. They cannot fix significant misalignment, a deep bite or a skeletal problem without removing too much tooth.
How we handle it: when orthodontics first is better, we refer you, even if you do not treat with us.
Results vary
Your anatomy, enamel, gums, bite and healing determine what is achievable. No photo on this page predicts your result.
How we handle it: your smile design is built from your own scans and photos.
Plan the next ten years
Once home, checkups and emergencies are handled by a dentist near you. A warranty remake requires a return trip; flights and hotel for it are not included.
How we handle it: we send your full digital records. Read the warranty terms before booking.

Veneers in Colombia: frequently asked questions
Cost & payment
How much do veneers cost in Colombia?
At Dr. Yazmín Escudero's clinic in Medellín, an IPS e.max porcelain veneer costs $345 USD per tooth. In the United States the national average is about $1,425 per tooth, with a typical range of $930 to $2,440, so patients pay roughly 76% less than the US average.
How much is a full set of 20 veneers in Colombia?
A full set of 20 IPS e.max veneers costs $6,900 USD all-inclusive. The package includes digital smile design, in-house lab fabrication, three nights at The Cut hotel in El Poblado, airport pickup and drop-off, hotel-clinic rides on appointment days, and a bilingual coordinator. Flights are not included.
Is a private driver available during my whole stay?
No. The package covers airport pickup on arrival, airport drop-off on departure, and rides between your hotel and the clinic on each appointment day. For sightseeing, shopping or days without appointments, we can recommend trusted local transport at your own cost.
How do I pay, and is there a deposit?
A $300 USD deposit reserves your treatment dates. The balance is paid at the clinic by card, bank transfer or cash. Your final quote is confirmed after the clinical evaluation and 3D scan, and no unquoted surcharges are added on arrival.
Can I get a quote before I travel?
Yes. Send a few photos of your smile on WhatsApp to +57 300 300 0730 and Dr. Escudero's team will reply with an honest candidacy assessment and an itemized quote, free and with no obligation.
Safety & credentials
Is it safe to get veneers in Colombia?
Yes, when you choose a licensed dentist working in a government-certified clinic. Safety depends on the provider, not the country. Dr. Escudero is registered in ReTHUS, Colombia's official health-professional registry, and her clinic operates under Habilitación (Resolución 3100 de 2019) with strict sterilization protocols.
How do I verify a Colombian dentist's license?
Search the dentist's name or ID number in ReTHUS, the public registry of Colombia's Ministry of Health. Dr. Escudero's registration number is 1.098.615.233. Also ask for the clinic's Habilitación certification, read independent reviews on Google, and get the warranty in writing.
Is Dr. Escudero a specialist?
Dr. Escudero is a general dentist with more than 16 years of practice and focused training in ceramic veneers, including NYU College of Dentistry continuing education. She does not hold a formal dental specialty. Root canals, gum surgery, implants and sedation are performed by certified specialists on her team.
Materials, durability & warranty
Which is better: e.max porcelain or composite veneers?
It depends on your goals, budget, bite and natural teeth. E-max porcelain is more durable and resists staining better, which is why it is usually recommended for a full-smile makeover. Composite resin costs less and is faster, but chips and stains more easily and needs more maintenance.
If you are comparing composite veneers in Colombia, ask for both options in your free photo assessment and Dr. Escudero will tell you which one suits your case.
How long do porcelain veneers last?
With good hygiene and regular checkups, porcelain veneers commonly last 10 to 15 years, and some last longer. Grinding, gum problems and biting hard objects are the main causes of early failure, which is why a night guard is prescribed when your bite shows grinding.
What is recovery like after veneers?
Most patients return to normal activities the same day. Sensitivity to cold and pressure and tender gums are common for a few days to a few weeks. You keep direct WhatsApp access to the clinic during recovery.
What does the warranty cover?
Veneers placed at the El Poblado clinic carry a 1-year limited written warranty on materials and workmanship. It does not cover trauma, grinding without the prescribed night guard, or neglected oral hygiene, and flights and hotel for a return visit are not included.
Your trip to Medellín
Is it veneers in Colombia or Columbia?
Colombia, spelled with two o's, is the South American country where Medellín is. Columbia is a common misspelling and also the name of several places in the United States, such as the District of Columbia and Columbia, South Carolina. Dr. Escudero's clinic is in Medellín, Colombia, about three hours by air from Miami.
Do I need a visa to travel to Colombia for veneers?
US citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays of 90 days or less. You need a valid passport, should complete the free Check-MIG form online within 72 hours before your flight, and may be asked for a return ticket. Canadian, UK and other travelers should confirm current rules with their government.
How many days do I need in Medellín?
Standard veneer cases are completed in three clinic days, and the package includes three hotel nights. If your evaluation shows gum disease, decay or an unstable bite, extra appointments or a second trip may be needed, and you are told on the first day.
What happens if a veneer comes off after I fly home?
Keep the veneer, avoid chewing on that side and contact the clinic on WhatsApp. We send your digital records, shade and material specifications so a local dentist can re-bond it. Our guide on what to do if a veneer falls off walks you through the first steps.
Does the clinic speak English?
Yes. Stephany Carmona, the international patient coordinator, is fully bilingual in English and Spanish and is present at every appointment, from airport pickup to your final reveal.
